My favorite place to leave the city stress and relax is the Elqui Valley in the fourth region of Chile. This is where all my family to go to comprate wonderful time on vacation, we all came to the camp of my uncle, where we can enjoy nature and the charm of being in the mountains, lots of vegetation, rivers and skies free of contamination. We always go when we celebrate the birthday of my grandmother or a family member, we laugh a lot, and discuss the events or anecdotes that have happened in our lives, strengthen our family ties. We arrived at that place some by bus or car, some go first and others later. Usually rich roasts cooked together, then stroll through the surrounding visiting places like Pisco Elqui, Monte Grande, etc.
These places have a lot of history, for example Montegrande is the birthplace of Gabriela Mistral, in that people can go to a museum where there are many things pertaining to our poet, Nobel Prize winner for literature. In Pisco Elqui can find craft fairs and many tourists during the holiday season.
Also in the evenings you can enjoy a beautiful starlit sky, which impresses all who come from big cities to enjoy this mystical place.
I love going to this place because I enjoy it a lot, and I forget all my worries, feel the energy that surrounds you in a different atmosphere.
Unfortunately now that I live in Santiago I can not go very often to this beautiful place.
